This is a pretty okay piece and it reflects the truth. But it's rather too focused on Ceausescu's regime and its brutalist architecture. I just want to point out that many buildings were destroyed in the '77 earthquake and prefab rectangular apartment buildings were built in their place according to the dictator's grand vision. Of course, in order to materialise this vision, he just had to demolish lots of other stuff. To reflect the past and present cozy relationship between the church and the state, a cathedral of the nation's deliverance is being built near the people's house.
